Get rid of those darn political commercials! I imagine that most folks
hate them with a vengence, except those few who are political partisans.
If all ads had to go into places where we can see them when we want to,
obviously the net would be the major player, I do think it would be just
fine for everyone concerned.
Advertisers would NEVER go for that, because most folks would tune them
out! Think of the backlash from TV executives about Tivo or such
devices that would allow folks to bypass the commercials!
People are still going to buy things, just
on different things then the ads are pushing and pulling for. If people
do spend less money on fewer things overall, that's good too. We're way
too possession oriented. And if this did slow the economy, better for
it. And, if necessary, we can redirect a large piece of the military
budget to productive things and the positive ripple effect that would
have.
That opens a can of worms. You've got some who say that the cutbacks
during the Clinton years caused a lot of the problems we have today!
